[not quite S-F but...]


	If there is one series I would like to see translated to celluloid,
    it is Zelazny's Amber series.  It would have to be directed by someone
    who has a good feeling for motivation & character, AND a good sense of
    epic fantasy (no easy task).  Art direction would need to be given to
    someone with a GREAT imagination!  [unfortunately, it'll never happen.
    After what Hollywood did to Damnation Alley, Zelazny will never sell
    movie rights again].  This could even be a made-for-TV-epic...
	As for the cast, that takes some thought...it's been a while since
    I read the books, so I don't remember the minor characters too well.
    ...but here goes...

	Corwin . . . Mel Gibson
	Random . . . Sting
	Oberon . . . Marlon Brando (if you could get him) or Sean Connery?
	Eric . . . . Malcolm McDowell
	Dworkin  . . Burgess Merideth
